Some of the extreme measures to "save" 2.7 cases a money's poorly spent.
With 8 main bearings in the 911 case, "perfect" main bores become less important. Keep in mind that after a couple of heat cycles the main webs in a mag case engine are no longer round.
Upgraded oil pump to ensure oil pressure at idle, cam feed restricters and quality bearings will make up for a slightly oval main saddle.

My sense is telling me the same thing. The 2.7 we are attempting to build is being shoe horned into a 914 conversion so the numbers have no meaning. My gut is telling me to find an aluminum case and start over. The minuses of magnesium versus the pluses of aluminum are becoming more apparent.
